For home, good company, familiarity
So the heart embraces the new
And welcome winds of change
As I ache for the cool touch
Of my mother's weathered fingers
Her clatter in the kitchen
Her halo of protection and comfort
So I stand wide-eyed, excited
For me new-found freedom
Bearing new responsibilities
With a smile and strong stance
As furiously as I cling to
The part of me i left behind
So I let this new person
Find her soul
